Wairarapa Wines Harvest Festival - this Saturday

The Team from Destination Wairarapa

Wairarapa’s finest wineries, restaurants, and food producers will showcase their wares set amongst ancient native trees in the Festival’s spectacular riverside setting this Satruday (17th Feb).

The festival is held at the beautiful, sheltered riverside setting locally known as ‘The Cliffs' on the banks of the Ruamahunga River at the end of Dakins Road in rural Wairarapa. Its remoteness and vineyard setting is part of its appeal while still being close to public transport.​

Just 10 minutes from both Masterton and Carterton: a regional shuttle service will run to and from the festival site at the beginning and end of the day. Reservations are essential, add this to your ticket when you purchase.

Wineries at this years’ event include: Alexia, Big Sky Wines, Cambridge Road Vineyard, Columbo Martinborough, Coney Wines, Fairmont Estate, Gladstone Vineyard, Grava, Huntress, Johner Estate, Le Gra Vineyard & Winery, Matahiwi Estate, Nga Pari, Stad_ko, Te Hera Estate and Urlar.
Don't miss this classic Wairarapa event - its made for summer.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
